On a fleeting, flea-market browse, I came upon additional, 11" x 14", lobby-card reproductions for my collection, presented here per stock submissions to instill prime clarity.
The first (kicking off this post) is a poster reproduction, promoting Edward L. Cahn/Samuel Newman's 1959 sci-fi/horror opus, Invisible Invaders, which depicts a greater, cataclysmic assault than seen in the subdued but creepy entry. The image is still worth possessing, and one can at least relish John Agar and Robert Hutton listed on the card, even if John Carradine is absent.😞
The second card is from Roger Corman/Richard Matheson's 1962, Edgar Allan Poe anthology, Tales of Terror, starring Peter Lorre and Vincent Price. (I love the scene where the two engage in a wine-tasting duel. When we you kids, my brother and I often emulated the melee, albeit with grape juice.😊)
The third submission is a Mexican card for Bert I. Gordon/George Worthing Yates/Laszlog Gorog's 1959, monster-teen romp, (Earth vs) the Spider (La Arana). I like the subdued, color scheme, as well as the black-and-white, photo inserts. The symbolic arachnid with skull is, of course, a common feature on most Spider posters/cards and is most welcome for its nifty, nostalgic reference.😉
Considering that I obtained all three for under ten bucks makes me feel pretty dang good. It just goes to show what one may find at one's local flea market.💓
